Swiss Straight Pulls 7: Schmidt-Rubin 1905 Cavalry Carbine
Bloke on the Range

7m 22s
Onwards and upwards with the seventh (!) episode in the Swiss Straight-Pulls series. This time, it's the Schmidt Rubin 1905 Cavalry Carbine's turn.

They seem to have re-equipped the cavalry en masse with the new M1905, rather than feed them in from a particular date.
